Default white smoke after TR 230 cam....

Well I had a T1 cam on my car with a MAFT on it. I took off the MAFT and swapped the new TR 230 cam for the T1. Now when I gun it, white smoke puffs out the back of the car. I assume this has to do with the A/F ratios? I'm tuning my car this weekend with LS1Edit so hopefully that will work. Doesn't white smoke mean too lean?? Or would it be a blown gasket?? Even though it just started this after the install?!? I am thinking it is one of these reasons...

1. I broke a valve cover bolt off and used some west virginia enginuity to fix it (I'll be fixing that this weekend)

2. we lost a water pump bolt, so there is a bad seal around one of the holes.

3. I took an A-Tap run last night, and my LTtrim's were about -9%, and my o2's at WOT were about .95. So since I am running rich, the computer is over compensating too much.

the 230/224 .569/.563 111 LSA TR cam (specs were actually .571/.563 110.3)
